As you can see from the subtitle, this is my attempt to corral all the thoughts in my head related to being a Christian woman and wife, much as they describe in Proverbs 31. I have a lot of thoughts on things I’ve experienced and also things I haven’t. I think a lot of Christian women these days are misunderstood by the secular world, and often even misunderstood by their brothers and sisters in Christ. The “church” has a lot to do with it. By that I mean, the denominations and rituals that are, as my wise husband has said, man made and not necessarily Biblical. I’ll get into a lot of that at some point.

A little about me, I’m a born and raised Texan, married to my best friend who unfortunately for me, I didn’t meet until I was 30. My loss, don’t you think? I have a great job and a great career (no, those aren’t necessarily the same, I’ll talk more on that as well) that I love. I’m a Texas Tech alumna and despite that, Aggies are welcome here, just know that we have your number come October 13. I love to cook, love to travel and see the world, and spend time with family and friends. I hate to clean house, and I moderately tolerate shopping – yes I know, not very girly of me.

I welcome comments and discussion on my thoughts, and I know not everyone will agree, but that is what makes the world interesting. I know the “church” disagrees on quite a bit of what I will say, but I suspect many of you will be on board with that concept of following your heart, God’s direction and His word, rather than what the Baptists or Presbyterians or Catholics think.

I’ll be back with a more substantive post when I gather my thoughts and then proceed to expound on them.
